Blue Crush: Get Katy Perry's MTV Movie Awards Look

by Eva Chen

Is there anyone quite as beauty-adventurous as Katy Perry? Her look at the MTV Movie Awards certainly proved that there isn't! (It's not every day that someone wears, um, a bright blueberry wig... and pulls it off with panache!). I got the scoop from makeup artist Jake Bailey on her makeup, which would've looked lovely with or without the wig. Take a cue from Jake and use the below tips if you want to balance out a statement piece--whether it's a bright wig or a bold outfit!

"We wanted a dramatic glamorous eye and keep the rest of the colors nude. She wanted a polished chic look. For her face I used COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach to give her cheeks a warm glow. On Katy's eye I used COVERGIRL Line Exact in Black. I love liquid liner because it allows you to change the shape of an eye, we wanted to create a more almond shape for Katy. Above the black liner, I used the white shade of the COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx Smoke. In her waterline I applied new COVERGIRL LiquiLineBlast in Silver Spark to make the eyes pop. Women tend to be afraid to use liner in the inner eye but it actually balances out a dramatic eye look. To finish the eye I applied multiple coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion in Very Black. On her lips I used COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain in Flirty Nude and applied LaMer Lip Balm on top for a touch of shine. Before her performance I punched up the look a bit by adding COVERGIRL LiquiLineBlast in Blue Bloom for a pop of color and COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstainin Everbloom Kiss. Katy loves the Outlast Lipstains because they are great for when she performs; they don't stick to her hair or microphone and never smudge."
